I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 238 Rebellious Master and Rebellious Disciple (Bonus Chapter for Cumulative Rewards)
Jiang Yi was in a bad mood and entered Flint City with a dark face, holding her identity token.

The sweltering heat and the tiny sparks carried by the burning wind rushed towards us. The streets were crowded with people. The disciples of the nine great immortal sects wore brightly colored robes, and the independent cultivators were in groups of three or five. The demon spirits of the demon tamers either clung to their shoulders or followed them around their feet, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

The cave-like buildings of Flint City stand side by side, with a weapon-refining workshop every few shops. The fire-absorbing tiles on the roofs gleam with a reddish-copper luster under the blazing sun, and the heat rising from the earth fire wells provides a continuous source of fire for the weapon-refining workshops.

The clanging of blacksmiths and the shouts of vendors on both sides of the street filled the air. Jiang Yi couldn't feel any warmth or liveliness at that moment; she only felt the noise.

At this moment, two Xuan Ying sword cultivators, dressed in white and carrying long swords, walked towards them from the crowd. Jiang Yi opened her eyes slightly, and before her brain could react, she turned her toes in a different direction.

She forcefully suppressed her body's urge to avoid them, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and then strode confidently into the crowd, brushing past the two Xuan Ying sword cultivators without them even noticing her.

In the vast sea of ​​people, among all living beings, she is but an insignificant grain of millet.

Moreover, she is no longer the sharp-tongued, attention-grabbing woman she once was. These years of cultivating the Tao and refining her heart in the mortal world have transformed her temperament from the inside out.

I asked the guards at the city gate earlier, and they said that the Cangling Sect members didn't come in a large ship like the other sects that were showing off their wealth. They were all staying in the 'Beacon Tower' near the Suishi City Square.

The city was crowded with people and large demons, and the roads were congested, so Jiang Yi could only slow down and scan the surroundings as he walked.

With that glance, Jiang Yi's brows furrowed, and a murderous intent surged within her.

She discovered that there were quite a few parasites of the Dream Immortal Sect, all of them in the bodies of low-level Qi Refining cultivators. She had not yet seen any Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been parasitized.

The Dream Immortal Sect parasitizes cultivators by allowing the cultivator's soul to sink into a dream world. She can see dream marks, so those who are lively and energetic on the street but have dream marks on their heads are parasites.

Judging from their clothing, most of the parasites were independent cultivators, but a small number were dressed in the robes of the nine major immortal sects.

This group of people has started playing Cultivation Online again, and they've teamed up to farm the Golden Zheng Plains Secret Realm dungeon!
Jiang Yi suppressed her murderous intent and did not act rashly. She had guessed that the Immortal Alliance was playing a trick to lure her into a trap, so she naturally had to figure out the Immortal Alliance's plan before taking action, so as not to alert the enemy and ruin the overall situation.

"Sister!"

A shout came from the crowd, and apart from Jiang Yi, many of the female cultivators who were senior disciples of their sects looked towards the direction from which the sound came.

Suddenly, a young man with two swords at his waist leaped up from the bustling crowd, waving excitedly at Jiang Yi. His tall and slender figure was wrapped in a red outfit, and the hot wind lifted the wisps of hair on his forehead. His amber eyes were bright and fiery, exuding a vigorous and untamed energy.

The black iron mask covered the area below his nose, but it couldn't hide the vibrant smile that radiated from the corners of his eyes.

Zhao Cangyun nimbly dodged and ran from behind the crowd to Jiang Yi, saying, "I knew as soon as you entered the city."

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded. This nose is truly amazing.

"Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, not bad. Looks like you haven't been slacking off these past two years," Jiang Yi said, looking Zhao Cangyun up and down.

Zhao Cangyun scratched his head and deliberately made a silly grin. If it weren't for the fact that he had lost a lot of blood for Xuan Hui's advancement, he would have already entered the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. However, he didn't suffer any losses. He obtained the Golden Crow Fire Essence from Xuan Hui, which strengthened his Qilin True Fire.

"The clothes are really nice, but why is she wearing a mask?"

The two walked side by side down the street, heading towards the Beacon Tower.

Zhao Cangyun tugged at his clothes, "It's not Master's fault, Senior Sister, you also have one of these clothes."

Jiang Yi nodded, understanding now, school uniform!
However, the Cangling Sect disciples wear light blue uniforms on formal occasions, but their master is making an exception and arranging for them to wear red, which represents her.

Zhao Cangyun adjusted the mask on his face again and sighed, "Master insisted that I wear this mask, which made my nose uncomfortable and I can't smell many things. Fortunately, Senior Sister's... Oh right, Senior Sister, Master is here too. He asked me to take you to see her."

"Didn't Master go to protect the Demon Master Xuanhui?"

Jiang Yi was puzzled and casually glanced at Zhao Cangyun's mask. This mask was definitely to prevent him from smelling things randomly and going to the Dream Immortal Sect Leader, thus ruining the Immortal Alliance's plan.

"I don't know about that, but my master said that she came this time to exchange weapon-refining techniques with the sect leader of Zhu Mingzong."

"Where are the others? Who else from our Cangling Sect has arrived?" Jiang Yi asked.

“Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang have already arrived. That old codger Shang Shixu wrote to me saying he has something to do and can’t come. The people who participated in the inner sect assessment with us have also arrived one after another. They came because they heard about Ji Honglian.”

"Then there are some Foundation Establishment stage disciples from the sect, whom I don't know very well. No, no, I know Chisongzi, he's here too. There are also three Golden Core cultivators here, namely Yuwei, Xuanzhi, and Luoheng. It seems that these three Golden Core cultivators are the only ones who are relatively free in the entire Cangling Sect."

Jiang Yi paused slightly. The presence of Master Luo Heng was unexpected. She had thought that Master Luo Heng would be devastated because of Lin Xiyue and Ji Honglian's affair, and would at least need to go into seclusion for several years.

Now that he's here, it's likely he's here with the intention of finding Ancestor Tianxin and avenging his disciple. "Senior Sister, this Treasure Hunt is no ordinary event. All the major immortal sects have sent disciples, so Zhu Ming Sect has changed the rules of the Treasure Hunt, canceling the qualification of all Qi Refining cultivators to enter Jin Zheng Plain."

"Each sect is only allowed to send two Golden Core cultivators. Golden Core cultivators without affiliation are not accepted. Golden Core cultivators from cultivation families are also not accepted. Foundation Establishment cultivators are not restricted by their origin, but their entry qualification must be determined through arena battles."

Jiang Yi thought it was reasonable; canceling the qualifications of Qi Refining cultivators would directly exclude most of the Dream Immortal Sect parasites.

Golden Core cultivators are the main force in searching for ancient relics deep within the Golden Zheng Plains Secret Realm. Each faction sends two, which is considered fair competition. The Golden Core cultivators of Zhu Ming Sect are certainly very familiar with the Secret Realm, giving them a significant advantage.

With a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators from various sects, holding a tournament would attract attention from all sides, create a lively atmosphere, and facilitate friendly exchanges.

Winning is a matter of pride for the elders, and losing is just the younger generation playing around; it's neither shameful nor does it hurt the harmony.

However, this means that if members of the Dream Immortal Sect want to infiltrate the Golden Zheng Plains Secret Realm, they will have to focus their efforts on Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Parasitizing Foundation Establishment cultivators must be no simple matter for the Dream Immortal Sect. Doesn't this force the Dream Immortal Sect to expose its hidden elite forces?
The Flint City Square was just ahead, and a number of visiting cultivators were gathered in front of the Hundred Refinement Stele. The Beacon Tower was on the side of the square.

"Could you arrange for Pu Ning and Wu Shuang to meet me? I'm going to pay my respects to my master first."

After Jiang Yi found out which room his master was staying in, he left first. Zhao Cangyun wanted to follow him, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw someone secretly making the gesture of the underground demon race at the entrance of the alley on the side of Fengyan Pavilion.

Zhao Cangyun's face suddenly darkened, a stark contrast to his previous expression.

……

The annex on the top floor of Fengyan Pavilion.

As soon as Jiang Yi saw Dan Xi, she was about to raise her hand to pay her respects when she heard Dan Xi excitedly shout.

"Good disciple, I've staked everything on you this time. You must crush all the Foundation Establishment disciples from other immortal sects, especially those sword cultivators from the Xuan Ying Sword Sect. You must win the title of champion in the arena battle!"

Jiang Yi raised her hand and then lowered it again. This gesture was unnecessary.

"My master isn't here, so I'll be going now."

What a rebellious master! He's really giving his disciple a headache!
"Stop right there!" Danxi flicked her sleeve, slammed the door shut, and cast a protective barrier. "If you don't go, don't blame me for betraying you!"

Jiang Yi turned around and shrugged indifferently, "Fine, I'll just say that you kidnapped me and won't let me go back to Xuan Ying Sword Sect."

"You dare!" Danxi glared.

Jiang Yi smiled slyly, "I'm not only going to say that you kidnapped me, I'm also going to say that you erased my memory, brainwashed me, and tricked me into becoming your disciple. You see who my mother will believe? I've always been a very good girl since I was a child, and I've never lied to my mother."

After saying that, Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile.

Danxi laughed in exasperation, "Fine, fine, you rebellious disciple, you're betting on my bad reputation, aren't you?"

"I didn't ruin your reputation, so who can you blame?"

"Okay, okay, very good!"

Danxi laughed with her hands on her hips, and tossed a pile of refining materials on the ground, including the section of black gold jade bamboo that Jiang Yi had given her, which had already been polished into the shape of a sword embryo.

Before Danxi could even speak, Jiang Yi's arrogant demeanor vanished instantly, and he immediately adopted a dutiful attitude.

"Cough~ As Master's disciple, it's my duty to share Master's burdens. So what if I smash their dog heads? Smash them! I'll make sure to smash them all without leaving a single one alive, especially those stinking sword cultivators from the Xuan Ying Sword Sect!"

"Master, please sit down. Standing is tiring. Are you thirsty? Let me pour you some tea. How can you leave things lying around? Please put them away. It's not good to ruin the materials we finally gathered."

Danxi chuckled, flicked her sleeves, sat down, and raised her chin, waiting for Jiang Yi to serve her tea.
